Computer upgrade issues & error
Posted: Wed 20 Oct , 2010 9:26 am
Hi Guys,
Ian from Menai H.S. - Sydney Australia.
We've recently suffered a global upgrade of the file server at school and are now running under Windows XP Service Pack 3. This is causing hiccups with running QuickCAM 2D (Version 1.8.5.344) and QuickCAM 3D V3 (Version 3.5.0.61), actually they won't run at all. The programs are running an error message code of either 5226 or 5220, if that means anything to you. (And apologies about not knowing which code it is, as I am typing this in at home and I'm trying to decipher our IT guy's crappy hand writing. Didn't think anyone could be worse than me.)
I know you guys are going to tell me to upgrade to the latest version and that should solve our problems. However, in the not so distance future, either late this term or early next year our old computers (6+ years) will be replaced. Yes, lucky us. But this will more than likely mean a change in OS to Windows 7! The question is, do the latest version run under Windows 7 or am I looking at yet another upgrade sometime in the not so distance future?
Please advise.
Ian
PS. Since the issue with the intermittent fault in the CNC milling machine last year, it has been running fine. Thanks again with all the help with that.
